Financial solutions for your life and legacy
The individuals and families we serve seek to live their lives unencumbered by the complications that wealth can bring. Whether you’re focused on living well in retirement, or have more specific needs such as preserving assets to ensure your legacy is carried out or simply minimizing tax liability, we can help holistically manage your wealth.
Among the many resources available to you is Raymond James Trust N.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of Raymond James Financial. Our trust company currently manages more than $5.1 billion in assets for clients in most of the 50 states as well as in a number of foreign countries.
Under its federal charter, Raymond James Trust may act as trustee, custodian, agent to the trustee or personal representative/executor in a wide variety of trust and estate situations. In these roles, it offers estate settlement services to facilitate what is often a complex and technically demanding process.
Through the trust company, we offer a full array of trust structures, including charitable-giving tools that may also feature tax advantages. These include the Raymond James Charitable Endowment Fund, donor-advised funds, pooled income funds, charitable remainder trusts and charitable remainder annuity trusts.
Whether your goal is to minimize estate taxes, help ensure you have the funds you need down the road, provide for a loved one or spell out exactly how you want your wishes to be carried out, we can help.
With a dedicated trust officer on site, we can provide recommendations on trust design features for living revocable trusts, estate planning transactions that utilize trusts and for trusts that are created by testamentary documents. We assist with estate planning transaction design and implementation. A full range of personal trust and estate planning services – including custody and safekeeping, account management for estates and living trusts, irrevocable life insurance trusts, and estate settlement services – is available.
Wherever and however you see yourself enjoying your retirement, we can develop savings and distribution strategies to help ensure you enjoy it for a long time.
We can help you with every phase of planning for your retirement. During your working years, we’ll develop and monitor a wealth accumulation plan based on your specific goals and objectives. As you approach retirement, we’ll assist you with critical decisions regarding retirement plan options, Social Security and tax planning. Once you’re retired, we’ll determine tax-efficient income and wealth transfer strategies. LEARN MORE
Raymond James and its advisors do not offer tax or legal advice. You should discuss any tax or legal matters with the appropriate professional.
We assist clients with all types of insurance, particularly life insurance and long-term care, offering an important layer of safety for you, your family, your business or your organization. Because insurance helps protect you in case of accident, illness, disability or death, it plays a crucial role in your comprehensive financial plan.
For example, we can help you build a protective cushion with life insurance, preserve your estate with long-term care insurance and combine protection and tax-advantaged growth opportunities with annuities.
You may be confident that you can fund a comfortable retirement, and still have money left over to leave an inheritance for family members or to provide a donation to a favorite charity or two. We can assist you with estate and legacy planning needs like these by helping you optimize your assets, potentially minimize tax implications and determine the course most appropriate to your situation, in addition to helping select effective vehicles to implement your plans.

Securities Based Line of Credit (SBLC)2,3 - Put the value of your investment accounts to work by increasing your borrowing power and accessing cash without disrupting your long-term financial strategy. Collateralized by one or more Raymond James accounts, this flexible line of credit lets you borrow money for a variety of purposes (except the purchase of securities). With highly competitive pricing, interest rates range from the LIBOR rate plus 2.25% to 6.00% depending on the market value of pledged assets. From finished application to funding, your request will take approximately three to five days to complete.
Margin2 – A margin account allows you to access cash borrowed against pledged assets for any legal purpose through your Capital Access account.
1 Raymond James does not offer tax advice. Please consult your tax advisor for questions regarding your tax situation.
2 Margin or a Securities Based Line of Credit may not be suitable for all clients. The proceeds from a Securities Based Line of Credit cannot be used to purchase or carry margin securities. Borrowing on securities based lending products and using securities as collateral may involve a high degree of risk. Market conditions can magnify any potential for loss. If the market turns against the client, he or she may be required to deposit additional securities and/or cash in the account(s) or pay down the loan. The securities in the pledged account(s) may be sold to meet the margin call, and the firm can sell the client’s securities without contacting them. The interest rates charged for a Securities Based Line of Credit are determined by the market value of pledged assets and the net value of the client’s Capital Access account. The interest rates charged for Margin are determined by the amount borrowed. For additional information on margin, visit http://sec.gov/investor/pubs/margin.htm.
